UD - I have my kids this weekend....do you? I got messed up at Christmas because H went away on his weekend, so he got them the following weekend.....

What a day.

I went for the second interview. I am 99.9% sure that I will get this job. I just have to iron out the compensation aspect. But they wanted to know how much notice I would need to give, what items I would need when I started, etc.

It is ideal. They asked if I would consider part time, which is what I do now. I explained that I will need benefits in about a year. They said no problem. They understand that I have kids and said they can be flexible.

It is perfect.

I cried when I left. For two reasons....

First, my FIL has been unbelievable in all of this. He is the CEO where I am now. When he first found out about the D, he called me. Not my MIL (who my FIL would normally say call her and work it out), but my FIL - who hates dealing with emotional issues...or any other kinds of issues for that matter. But he called me and told me that he loved me and said that he would always have a job for me...if I was uncomfortable going into work with H, he would let me work from home. I feel that I am betraying him. I know that he will understand. But he has been wonderful to me.

Second.....up until now, my H has taken all of the steps to move away from me. This is the first step that I have taken to move away from him. I know it is necessary and I know that it is right. But I also know that it is sad.

But I need to do what is in my best interest and my children's best interest. There will be some changes here - no more summers home with them, trying to figure out how they will get home from school, etc. But we will work through it somehow.

This is all good. But in a sad sort of way.....
